Well I do not think there is THE ULTIMATE DOCUMENTATION FOR EVERYTHING ABOUT MAVEN and it will also never exist in future.
But here are some hints for you to get startet: 1. There are official plugins for maven that can be found here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html 2. There are plugins not yet as official that can be found here: http://mojo.codehaus.org/ or if the links are broken - ;) - here: https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/ 3. After reading into the available documentations the best way to learn more about maven2 ist simply by looking at all the open-source projects that use it. Watch their sites and dig in their pom.xml files how they do it. E.g. you could have a look at my project what is very modular: http://m-m-m.sourceforge.net/maven/index.html One approach to do find more of such projects is by searching for "link:maven.apache.org" in google. 4. If you have a specific problem you want to solve with maven, simply ask on this list if someone has a solution for it. > > thanks > > Éric D You are welcome Jörg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGDByhmPuec2Dcv/8RAiC0AJsEGWUlPFtKYMv467+uL2L74tVyFACfUAwE NtJQG+6j2aVuZJZoyShJiHk= =S22T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
